[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is how some of the heavy haulage occurs in Thailand.The boat is pulling a row of barges each carrying hundreds of tonnes of raw materials for the ceramic industry. This is a cheap and efficient way to move many products. This river goes all the way to Bangkok Port some 120km south of this point. Coming back empty, the barges float far higher in the water and look about 5 times larger.

The neat part of all this is the boatman and his family all live aboard. You may see some signs of home-sweet-home. Sometimes you see a bike etc on board. In Germany similar, but bigger barges carry small cars for when they tie up overnight.

Hi Murray

The horizontal wideangled format suits perfectly. Perhaps I would add a little contrast & sharpness here. Good work overall & tfs!

Hi Murray,

This is a nice photo with a good composition and colors.

Hi Murray,
Very interesting note, good POV. BTW, that was a great WS you did for xuaxo

Hi Murray,
Good composition with a format to fit the action!
Interesting to see this comparatively small vessel doing a job like that....
Agree with Chris about post processing though...

Hi,
This is what I saw too during my river cruise in Bangkok. Too bad I didn't take any pictures.
Great composition. I don't think I 'll be able to compose like you did there.
Well done.
Cheers!!!
